The article you linked to said NT was higher with 99 new vulnerabilities in 2000 vs Redhat+other linuxs 84. It also doesn't really explain how this addition was done, and a bit of research shows RedHat's individual number is 38.
Conjugal visits? Not that I know of. No, minimum security prison is no picnic. I have a client in there right now. He says the trick is, kick someone's ass the first day, or become someone's bitch. Then everything will be alright
The Edison study shows that 53% of 12-17 year olds have burned a CD instead of buying it. Unless you disagree with the data (and I mean scientifically, not just "no way, man!"), you can't argue that such activities don't cost the copyright holders money in the form of a lost sale. So the real question is, is that money made up?
Another question is "has digital technology made this number higher and thus the loss greater"? Remember that when we were young, we used to use tapes to copy music. I'd be surprised if it was as low as 53% of people from my generation had copied a tape. Making a CD copy is a pain in the ass in comparison, and requires expensive equipment. We just needed a $40 deck.
Also note that these actions were legal under the Audio Home Recording Act as it states:
No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.
Have CD store return policies changed lately? I remember 4 years ago HMV (in Canada) would accept a return no questions asked. I know Walmart still does allow returns, but their CDs are all the family versions, so I can understand not shopping there.
(I don't know because I haven't had to return any CDs for quite a few years, with the exception of one that I bought used that I know I can't return).
Basically people providing false answers will ver often pick a false answer based on location. Many will pick the middle option, with others being picked less, though the first and last may have a oddly large amount of people chosing them compared to the second and second-to-last options.
When the answers are given in random order, each cycles into the different spots. The liars are actually cancelling out other liars who used the form before them. The differences in the answers are mostly based on how the truth tellers answered (I say mostly because some liars may have a different way of selecting a lie, such as the longest string offered in the answers), and so you can derive more meaningful statistics from them.
See this/. poll that illustrates the phenomenon. For an excercise, imagine what the results would look like if the offerings were randomly ordered for each person the poll was shown too. My bet is each would be near 12.5%.
Not for nothing, but he does run a giant linux oriented technical blog that has tens if not hundreds of thousands of readers. He probably receives more personal email than many of us recieve in spam. His position has taken him to many convensions and talks that have linux users from around the world recongizing and talking to him.
So, yeah, if *I* say I can't think of anyone who runs TurboLinux, it's really not a big deal. If CmdrTaco says it, it does mean something.
Another thing is just walking along an suddenly thinking "I can't believe they actually let me graduate". It's been almost 3 years and I'm still thinking this now and then.
This is a valid thing to say. It's bad when a company is overvalued. What happens is that it will eventually come down, as it did and a) a lot of people will get burned and blame your company b) a lot of employees will have the strike price for their options set at the overvalued level
It is always better to have a slower sustainable growth than a high volitility in your company's stock price.
My point is, the Mom here is metaphorical for the casual user
What? How can you possibly say that? Mom here is the metaphorical person (or people) that we are constantly acting as tech support for because we know computers and they don't. The article is asking why we haven't moved those people we support to linux because it is easier to support.
Someone else posted here that vim doesn't meet the requirements because when you j and k it goes to the next actual line, not the next soft line. This is my experience as well. Is there some vim setting to get it in line with the requirement?
The designers got it right. Havig the server on the machine that displays makes the most amount of sense.
In your design, a user runs a program on the remote host. Then somehow (PFM or by the user doing something) the display machine has to know that a program is being run that has a display and then connects to the remote host to request the display instructions.
In the current design, a user runs a program. That program contacts the display server and request it to perform display instructions.
The second seems much better to me for many reasons that I'm too tired to go into.
Regardless, I don't think AOL has ever done some like put up a website and then send a letter to someone saying "don't access this public website that is open to everyone (including you), for if you do we will prosecute you". When you join a P2P network, you are participating in an open network. Sending a letter to someone saying "don't connect to my Gnuttella server" isn't likely to be more legally binding than sending someone a letter saying "if you see me on the street, don't come up to me" (in second case the legally binding way is to get a restraining order).
I have to say that the 3rd one shouldn't be the case. If the statistical analysis was does correctly, you can determine from the variance how likely it is that the mean of the two groups can possibly be the same. By using the t-distribution you can figure out, for example, it is 99% certain that the means of the two groups aren't the same. You would then say there is a statistically significant difference in the two groups. I put that in bold because that is a technical term; significant doesn't comment on the magnitude of the difference, just that the statistics see the two means far enough apart and the variance small enough that the means are likely to be different. The number of Apple users is large enough that you don't have to worry about too small a same. There actually isn't much difference between 1000 and 1000000 when it comes to reduction of variance.
The reason I take issue with what you said is you said "apparent correlation" as if there were no actual correlation. I know nothing of the methodologies used here (because the article doesn't even scratch at them), but I would hope they applied the above tests (among others) to their data.
Of course, my real concern here is the sample bias. It seems like this was a web form survey (again a guess because the article doesn't cover methodology). Where were the web forms placed? If there was one on a Mac centric site that also caters to a tech savvy crowd, then that group could overpower Mac users filling out the survey on a more average site. I'm not saying this had such problems (the results found are unsurprising to me), but really these things do need to be looked at.
It hink he was refering to protocol filtering firewalls that do more than this. For example, in 1996 I worked at a place where the firewall would inspect the HTTP protocol and would terminate it if it looked fishy. This was a problem because I was attempting to POST using data other than url-encoded (my own mime type, this was before xml) from an application in one service network to another in another service network and it would terminate the connection. Turn off the protocol filtering and it would work (in this case it was because of what I think is a bug as it was more retrictive than the spec).
I definitely agree with every one of the names listed I've seen that I recognise. I'd like to say Fatboy Slim again (only saw it once), and emphasis his Better Living Through Chemistry album. The others are good, but that is a great album.
Also, I tend to buy random CDs that are produced by Ninja Tune. If you flip the CD over and see the Ninja Tune label, it's likely to be something special. My favorite band through them is 9 Lazy 9, which is acid jazzy electronica. Chill out room music. But really, don't just focus on one band by them. They have an ear for this kind of music.
No. The same problems don't happen for many reasons. One is that because the stable and unstable version are worked on concurrently, you still have fixes done to the stable kernel. For those that want stability, use 2.(even) for those who want to make new feaures or manke an applicationt that uses new features put on a 2.(odd) (note: 2.(odd) really is just for developers. The features aren't anything that a user could want, because there aren't applications that use them yet (thus the developers using it)).
Secondly. It's important to know that when you get down to the distribution level, that there are still backports to 2.2 (possibly even 2.0, but I don't know. I use a 2.2 kernel). This is why you'll see a version like 2.2.18-23. It means it's the 2.2.18 kernel from the linux kernel guys, with 23 revisions that have backported bug fixes (the same thing applies to other packages). This is really one of the strengths of open source and shouldn't be taken lightly. It is one thing that sets linux apart from the MS line.
I agree that the picture was faked, but I think it's important to note that just because the picture was faked doesn't mean it wasn't a leak. Companies put together draft pictures like this all the time for their sales efforts.
Of course, I tend to believe ATI when they say it's all a hoax.
funny, that's exactly why I use an online only bank. as it stands, my money is still too easy to get to (I get free cheques, there are ATMs for my bank in two of the few places I shop at, and grocery stores all offer cash back).

The goal is to make it so expensive to switch, that it's cheaper just to pay their high prices.

I had forgotten about Clipper. Why must you dreg things up from my past.
FoxPro was cool, though.
